Sean Bell

New Sydney-based artist Sean Bell writes gothic, post-punk earworms with raw, poetic lyrics, dirty basslines, towering guitars, and mechanical beats. Peppered with pop culture references and scathing self-awareness, his music evokes a dancey-darkness reminiscent of artists like Interpol, The Cure, New Order and Nick Cave. A melodic songwriter and one man musical army, Sean Bell plays electric guitar, bass, keys and sings on all his tracks. His sound is definitively Australian, informed by isolated urban decay and hostile rugged landscapes, and viscerally tackles themes of mental illness, love and angst.
